Laid To Rest

April 26, 1985

SAO JOAO DEL REY, BRAZIL — ''The last time I saw him, he told me to shave off my mustache. He said it made me look older.'' Seventy-year-old Paulo Affonso smiled sadly Wednesday as he recalled Tancredo Neves, Brazil's president-elect who died last Sunday at age 75. Neves' body was returned to his home city for a funeral service, and burial was delayed for six hours because of the number of people who wished to file past his coffin after Mass. The burial took place at 11 p.m. under a starry sky.
